Our Home...

So, I understand that these pictures are in no particular order, but I hope that you enjoy seeing "our new life" here in Texas. As promised, maybe late, but as promised, here are some pictures of our house.

This is the side of our house. It is technically the backyard because our backyard wraps around the side of our house and that gate on the left leads to the front yard. The windows (starting at the largest window to the left) is our Master Bedroom, then the office has the next two windows and finally the spare bedroom is the last window near the gate.
This is the front of our house. It was taken a while ago as you can tell from the sign in the front, but our grass is now greener and the bushes are overgrowing. :) That's my project for tomorrow evening.
This is one of our bar stools that you will see where they are in a picture later on. We got these at a great price at JC Penny.
This is our dining room table and breakfast nook area. Another steal of a deal from Garden Ridge. You may remember those tree things from the wedding up at the front. They make nice additions to the house. Look for another set in these pictures....
Here is half of our kitchen. We had to pick up some new appliances from Lowe's due to some rather "worn out" items that came with the house. it will look great once I tile the backsplash and redo the countertops (a job for this summer sometime)
Here is our fridge. You can see my finger prints on the freezer as I was trying to get to the food rather quickly one day. I'll make sure to clean that off soon. Don't tell my wife. :) We picked this fridge up at IKEA at 50% off.
Here is our oven and toaster oven... I love that little thing... It can do literally everything!
A dark picture of our front room. We have a beautiful Bay window (I think that's what it's called) We plan on putting a chair and table in this area, but well... we're newlyweds, so when the money comes, the chair comes. No problem though... I find this is the best area to play Wii sports because I can't fall and break anything or hurt anyone. I really "get into it".
A nice picture of our washer/dryer and junk above it. Mrs. E did a great job organizing this. She is so awesome. I love my wife. (tell her about that part)
This is the spare bathroom. We really haven't done much in here yet since it rarely gets used (hurry and come visit us and this lovely room could be yours!) I want to thank Bed Bath and Beyond for their great price on shower curtains and whoever it was that gave us Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards for our wedding. Thank you!
Here is another picture of our breakfast nook. the picture in the background is St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy. That is where we went on our honeymoon. Before we got married, I found this picture and had to buy it. It was hanging here when we got back and she saw it for the first time when we got back from our honeymoon.
This was another surprise to Steph when she finally got to her new home. I created these stretched canvass pictures on my Mac, printed them and framed them for her. If you can't read it, it is our vows. They were hanging on the wall when we got home too. She was very surprised!
Welcome to our front room. That green chair in the middle of the pic is so amazingly comfortable.
Here is a pic from the couch. We were blessed with this TV and other equipment. Many a nights of Wii have been played on this TV.
Finally, our fireplace. To position it in your head, to the left of this is the bay window and to the right of this is the TV.

Well, now you have been on part 1 tour of our house. Steph wouldn't let me take more pics until the other rooms were cleaned and I had to go to work, so I will put the rest of the rooms on next time. Hope you enjoyed your trip to our house, come visit again soon.
